“Living with Cancer” Support Group to be hosted July 23 and August 30
Videoconferencing provided to Portage Health
The Marquette General Cancer Center will be hosting a “Living with Cancer” support group on July 23 and August 20. The group meets from 4:30 – 6 p.m. in the Lombardi Room at Marquette General Hospital, which is located on the ground floor near the cafeteria.
Videoconferencing will be provided to Portage Health in the Portage Health Conference Center.
Cancer can be one of the most stressful experiences of someone’s life. The “Living with Cancer” group can help many people cope with the emotional aspects of cancer by providing a place to share experiences and learn from others who are facing similar situations. Cancer patients, along with their families, friends and caregivers are invited to take part in this group, which will focus on the challenges of living with cancer. The group will also discuss potential topics for upcoming meetings.
The group will be facilitated by Eleanor Dougherty, a behavioral health therapist, who has led a similar group in Escanaba for many years.
There is no cost to attend and pre-registration is not required. For more information, please call Eleanor at (906) 420-5844 or the Marquette General Cancer Center at
(906) 225-3500, or (800) 562-9753, ext. 3500.
